The unused type combinations

What unused Pokémon type combination(s) do you hope to see in the future?

Out of all unused type combinations in Pokémon, such combinations are:

Fire/Grass, Fighting/Electric, Fighting/Ground, Ground/Fairy, Rock/Ghost, Fire/Fairy, Fighting/Fairy, Poison/Ice, Ice/Normal, Rock/Normal, Bug/Dark, Bug/Dragon, Bug/Normal, Steel/Normal, and Poison/Normal. In addition, the Dragon/Fairy combination is only used during Mega Evolution, which is by Mega Altaria.

Personally, I am excited about the possible creation of a Fire/Grass Pokémon. The typing alone would be able to hit 44% of all Pokémon super-effectively, would be able to take full advantage of Harsh Sunlight and Grassy Terrain at the same time, giving it potential to hit extremely hard with both Grass and Fire type moves among other things, and would have its weakness to Bug, Fire, Ground, Water, and Ice-type moves removed. It would also resist Electric, Fairy, Steel, and Grass, which could counter many heavy hitters such as Zacian, Zapdos, and Rillaboom in the meta. I feel that a Pokémon with the right stats and abilities of this typing could definitely be a major player in the meta game as a result. What about you? Which one of these unused type combinations would you like to see in the future?
 
Fire/Fairy, largely for the aesthetics. Imagines something cute on fire. Means the good kind of "on fire", though, and not the suffering kind. Would be less interested in, say, a fiery version of Grimmsnarl.

Looks pretty good in terms of defenses, as a bonus. Features four weaknesses, six resistances, one double resistance, and an immunity. Sounds good on paper. Hardly considers a double Bug resistance amazing, though.

Fire/Fairy would actually a good type though. Fire is already a great type itself, both offensively and defensively, and Fairy just makes it even better.
